Aquinas - Summa Theologica v.3 - Theology Tools

Son and Holy Ghost than about the Person of the Father, Who is never
sent, as we stated in the P(1) Q(43), A(4).

P(2b)-Q(1)-A(8)-RO(5) — The sanctification of a creature by grace, and
its consummation by glory, is also effected by the gift of charity, which is
appropriated to the Holy Ghost, and by the gift of wisdom, which is
appropriated to the Son: so that each work belongs by appropriation, but
under different aspects, both to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
P(2b)-Q(1)-A(8)-RO(6) — Two things may be considered in the
sacrament of the Eucharist. One is the fact that it is a sacrament, and in
this respect it is like the other effects of sanctifying grace. The other is that
Christ’s body is miraculously contained therein and thus it is included
under God’s omnipotence, like all other miracles which are ascribed to
God’s almighty power.
P(2b)-Q(1)-A(9)
Whether it is suitable for the articles of faith
to be embodied in a symbol?
P(2b)-Q(1)-A(9)-O(1) — It would seem that it is unsuitable for the
articles of faith to be embodied in a symbol. Because Holy Writ is the rule
of faith, to which no addition or subtraction can lawfully be made, since it
is written ( Deuteronomy 4:2):
“You shall not add to the word that I speak to you, neither shall
you take away from it.”
Therefore it was unlawful to make a symbol as a rule of faith, after the
Holy Writ had once been published.
P(2b)-Q(1)-A(9)-O(2) — Further, according to the Apostle ( Ephesians
4:5) there is but “one faith.” Now the symbol is a profession of faith.
Therefore it is not fitting that there should be more than one symbol.
P(2b)-Q(1)-A(9)-O(3) — Further, the confession of faith, which is
contained in the symbol, concerns all the faithful. Now the faithful are not
all competent to believe in God, but only those who have living faith.
